France24: 'One in 10 Gazans Killed or Wounded' — Still No Ceasefire?
According to France24, a staggering one in ten Gazans (250,000 people) are now casualties of the ongoing conflict, with four percent of children losing at least one parent. This isn't just a grim statistic; it's a decimation of a population under siege. Yet, the same politicians who express 'deep concern' about these numbers often have a curious blind spot when it comes to the source of the
munitions causing them. For instance, President Biden approved another $14 billion in military aid to Israel via HR 815, signed into law April 24, 2024, despite this escalating humanitarian crisis. This consistent flow of weaponry from the US, often championed by politicians who receive significant contributions from groups like AIPAC (e.g., Rep. Hakeem Jeffries accepted $173,708 from pro-Israel
groups, including AIPAC, in 2023, according to OpenSecrets), ensures the 'war in numbers' only grows. How many 'deeply concerned' statements does it take to acknowledge this brutal arithmetic?
